Pros

Free Lunch, Outside activities every quarter. The management is open to the feedback.

Cons

No relocation assistance. Pay is very less compared to the peers. Cannot take leave in probation even if you are sick. Timings are very strict (in and out). Projects are very old, No one is prepared to innovate. You will be stuck in the same project for very long without the growth of your career.

Pros

Rakuten Rewards has great life balance. Too bad the economy was getting rocked.

Cons

Don't really have any cons. I understand that the market's been hard so had to downsize the force, so that was kinda challenging. Hopefully AI will increase everyone's output.
